SHEA position statement on pandemic preparedness for policymakers: emerging infectious threats
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Background Emerging infectious diseases (EID) are defined as pathogens that have recently been identified in a population or had previously reduced in scope but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Pandemics occur when new or re-emergent EID spread over multiple regions or continents. Interactions in our dynamic global society accelerate the emergence of EIDs (Table 1) suggesting that other pathogens with pandemic potential remain a pressing concern and could emerge or re-emerge at any time.
